Intermediate steering shaft

The only "collapsable" portion of my 1988 was the slip joint. With the 8mm bolt through it.
That was rusted solid.
The diagrams for the 1994 are similar.
The shaft inside the steering column? Looks like one of those chinese finger puzzles that you can't hardly get your fingers out of.
Not saying a 97 or later isn't like you say; but I doubt the "collapse" of the intermediate shaft on a 1994 would do any good.
OTOH, collapsable double-D shafts ARE available.

It's been my experience though, that if you hit something hard enough (front end collision, for instance) that you actually NEED those shafts to collapse that far, it was unlikely you were going to survive the experience in any event.......
